1940

From June Austin(Bob), we hear that one of the family jokes is "when they call me and get a wrong number it's kind of nice because instead of talking to my answering machine at least they're talking to somebody's mother." June is planning or has taken a trip beyond Boston—to Scandinavia. Mick Miller gets to Cape Cod to see Tuffy Reeves. Has thoughts about moving to the Cape Ann area. Will soon be a great-grandfather.

Ruthe and Chet Berry visited Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, including Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion national parks. On their return to the Cape, found a news item about Walt Kelley hiking in Eastham, Mass. Ed Schechter's story in the Wilkes-Barre Time Leader was titled "Driving Force In the Valley Presses On." Ed settled in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., in 1958 and has been a leader in the economic growth of the community ever since.

Rett Czerny, like all of us, had another birthday and replied to the Class Birthday Card, "Had a jolly reunion of 1940 when we visited Nette and Harry Hoyt in Vero Beach, Fla. Dartmouth Club in Tucson mildly alive in the winter months."

Jack Fitzgerald sent a newspaper story about Dr. John Henry Cutler, freshman Spanish prof. Cutler wrote for the old Boston Post. Jack and Ron Woodberry would often meet Cutler in the Laboratory Kitchen restaurant in the Post building.

James Henry Cooke Trophy is presented annually to the member of the senior class who has done the most for Dartmouth baseball during his undergraduate years. Jim's parents established this memorial to him, a baseball manager, who died in 1943 in Osaka, Japan.

Page Smith riting about his years at Dartmouth recalled how he benefited from his exposure to great teachers. Alan Mac Donald, teacher of freshman English, Sidney Cox teacher of creative writing, and, finally, there was the remarkable man who more than anyone else determined the shape and direction of his adult life—Eugene Rosenstock-Huessy.

The College library archivist wrote about James Whitcomb, "That his memory is held by so many alumni in the classes of 1938, 1939, and 1940 is remarkable." Jim entered the College with the class of 1938. He is listed on the war memorial with the class of 1939 and is pictured in the 1940 Aegis. Who remembers James Whitcomb?
